Anybody Remember The Late Dudley Moore's 2 Failed Ventures Into Sitcoms???

[Brian Damage]

Dudley (1993)
TOTAL AIRINGS: 5

Daddy’s Girls (1994)
TOTAL AIRINGS: 3

Few things get TV execs more excited than landing a big (or recently big) movie star for a sitcom, even though the hit-and-miss ratio on those star vehicles leans far more often towards cancellation. Bette Midler had Bette, Whoopi Goldberg had Whoopi, Pauly Shore had Pauly (seeing a pattern?), and in 1994, Dudley Moore had Dudley. This 1993 midseason replacement for CBS found the film star — who had fallen from the heights of 10, Arthur, and Micki & Maude to the lows of Like Father Like Son and Blame it on the Bellboy — playing a cabaret pianist struggling to get along with his teenage son. Six episodes were produced, but only five aired. A year later, Moore tried again, this time for CBS; he played a divorced father of three daughters in Daddy’s Girls. Though it was the first show to have an openly gay actor (Harvey Fierstein) playing a recurring gay character, and though an adorable young pre-Felicity Keri Russell appeared as one of the titular girls, reviews were scathing, and CBS pulled the show after only three episodes.
